    currently an avid juicer in the mornings but after joining tonight and reading about fructose it would appear that putting apples oranges and pineapples with the carrots and celery i am getting far too much fructose without the fibre?Do i now have to stop the fruit and juice the veges only?

    Hi Kerry, I'm fairly new to this journey too and still wading my way through the sugar mine field - read not an expert on this topic. In addition to this I actually don't eat fruit at all any more and my health and vitality has far from suffered as a consequence (in fact since I've been eliminating sugar these things have improved dramatically) so my personal reaction to your question is just give it away and find a new favorite breakfast. However, it's your personal choice, but my understanding is juice is on the list of things you should absolutely avoid when trying to reduce your fructose intake. If you don't already have it get your hands on a copy of David's book "The Sweet Poison Quit Plan". It's my go to for info about food and has some very comprehensive info on fruit/juice - the reasons for eating whole fruit, the recommended varieties and daily intake.

    Drinking fruit juice is like drinking fat. You couldn't sit down and eat 6 apples or oranges. But you can drink their juice in a moment. Also, the whole fruit contains fibre which ameliorates the effect of the fructose. So drinking juice just adds insult to injury.  Vegetable juice is OK because of the much lower fructose content. As David says "there is no such thing as bad vegetables.

    Well, it's like drinking cordial because it's full of sugar.  Unless you mean the sugar turns to fat ?

    I certainly do . . .  ALL the fructose you ingest above the 10g a day you need does NOT metabolise to glucose like all the other carbohydrates we eat. It goes directly to liver where it is converted to fat. That is why drinking fruit juice is just like drinking fat as far as the effect on your body goes.

    You can get that 10g a day from two pieces of fruit each of about 100g weight.

    Cane sugar is 50% fructose, HFCS (in U.S.A. ) is about 45%, honey 45% jam about 50% and so on.  If you must drink juice, David recommends that you stick to vegetable juice.

    Which of David's books have you read? If none then I suggest you buy Sweet Poison Quit Plan . I also suggest that you watch the video lecture on the metabolism of fructose at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

    You can make a smoothie using Whole Foods that way you are getting all the fiber as well.

    you can but some fruits contain a lot of fructose and potentionally you'll be going over your daily 10g fructose limit.
